Join a landmark hyperscale data centre build in Johor’s rapidly expanding digital infrastructure hub. We’re partnering with a global project management consultancy to deliver one of Southeast Asia’s most critical DC projects. As Commissioning Support Manager across multiple sites, you’ll be the technical linchpin ensuring all mission-critical systems are tested, validated, and handed over flawlessly to meet our hyperscale client’s uptime and performance standards.

This is a high-impact, project-level role for someone who thrives in fast-paced, technically complex environments and wants their name on a flagship facility.

If you are sucessful in this role, you will enjoy the following:
- Scale: Be part of a GW-scale data centre growth region serving global cloud demand
- Complexity: Work on cutting-edge liquid cooling, high-density power, and sustainability initiatives
- Impact: Direct interface with hyperscale end-client and global PM consultancy — high visibility role
- Package: Competitive project-based compensation with potential for extension or redeployment to other APAC builds


Key Responsibilities
- Lead Commissioning Execution: Drive day-to-day commissioning activities across MEP, CSA, and integrated systems for a multi-MW hyperscale data centre campus

- Integrated Systems Testing: Support and witness IST, Black Building Tests, and Pull-the-Plug exercises to validate full facility resilience
